This is a sad day. I have decided to sell my beautiful Katana.
Reason is I just don't ride it anymore. I was wanting to keep her as they're collectable nowadays but it's a shame to have such a lovely bike not being ridden and loved like it should be. :crybaby:
The Ks counter stopped working a while back at (I think) 81,000. Since then I've done a few Ks more so the 90,000 is an estimate.
She's in beaut condition, custom forest green colour, goes and rides like a dream. :first:
*Edit 08-12-09* Forgot, has Mongoose Alarm with remote fitted too!
The only thing is this:
The bearing on the shaft that the front sprocket is on is wearing out and starting to make a rumbling noise. I've been told it's not such a tough job if you're comfortable cracking the engine open, but I'm not so was quoted about $600 from KG motorcycles in Chch here to do the job.
Other than that she's a sweet bike. NEVER had any issues getting a WOF, apart from when one of the idiots at the testing station dropped it :angry2: (slowly, only bent the clutch a bit and had some plastic welded) and is a joy to ride.
Been very well looked after by me and the previous owners. A motorcycle cop, a mechanic who only used it for rallies, and me.
She'll keep up with the modern bikes no worries and turn a lot more head than any of them! :love:
Reg on hold for the last couple of years.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions.

I need this money to send the missus away for three weeks, so for me peace of mind, do a brother a favour ay ... ? :laugh: :msn-wink:
*Edit 08-12-09* Just started it for the first time in 2 years, started no problem! Video coming soon on my Youtube channel. Lowered Price a bit too.
